Little Boots Debuts New Song “Motorway,” Announces Album ‘Nocturnes’ For May Release

Following the fairly quiet releases of Little Boots‘ songs “Headphones” and “Every Night I Say A Prayer” last year, the English electro-pop songstress is set to self-release (via her On Repeat Records imprint) Nocturnes on May 6 — her official follow-up album to 2009 debut LP Hands. A press release touts the new material as “a powerful record of irresistible hooks and stunning songwriting that celebrates 90s house, seventies disco and futuristic electronics while maintaining the magic of classic pop.” In other words, we’ll be salivating until this one comes along!

“Every Night I Say A Prayer,” last year’s retro house offering from Little Boots (real name: Victoria Hesketh), made the cut for Nocturnes, and the latest preview from the album, “Motorway,” can be heard in the video clip below.

Little Boots — “Motorway”

Press materials note that production work on Nocturnes was done by DFA Records co-founder Tim Goldsworthy, while “other key contributions” were made by Simian Mobile Disco‘s James Ford and Hercules and Love Affair‘s Andy Butler. We’re certainly digging what we’re hearing so far above, in all its shimmery, Sally Shapiro-esque glory.
